Laboratory Evaluation of a Dual-Path Platform Assay for Rapid Point-of-Care HIV and Syphilis Testing
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016)
We assessed the laboratory performance of the Chembio dual-path platform HIV-syphilis rapid immunodiagnostic test and electronic reader for detection of HIV and Treponema pallidum antibodies in 450 previously characterized ...
Post-treatment vascular leakage and inflammatory responses around brain cysts in porcine neurocysticercosis
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
Cysticidal treatment of neurocysticercosis, an infection of humans and pig brains with Taenia solium, results in an early inflammatory response directed to cysts causing seizures and focal neurological manifestations. ...
The immunological aspects of Leprosy
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2019)
A Comparative Study of Peripheral Immune Responses to Taenia solium in Individuals with Parenchymal and Subarachnoid Neurocysticercosis
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
BACKGROUND: The ability of Taenia solium to modulate the immune system likely contributes to their longevity in the human host. We tested the hypothesis that the nature of the immune response is related to the location of ...
Genetic diversity of VAR2CSA ID1-DBL2Xb in worldwide Plasmodium falciparum populations: impact on vaccine design for placental malaria
(Elsevier, 2014)
In placental malaria (PM), sequestration of infected erythrocytes in the placenta is mediated by an interaction between VAR2CSA, a Plasmodium falciparum protein expressed on erythrocytes, and chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) ...
Regional variation in the correlation of antibody and T-cell responses to Trypanosoma cruzi
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014)
Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Central and South America. Geographic variations in the sensitivity of serologic diagnostic assays to T. ...
Conversion From Calcineurin Inhibitors to Belatacept in HLA-sensitized Kidney Transplant Recipients With Low-level Donor-specific Antibodies
(2019)
Background: Belatacept could be the treatment of choice in renal-transplant recipients with renal dysfunction attributed to calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) nephrotoxicity. Few studies have described its use in patients with ...
Immunophenotypic Shifts in Primary Cutaneous gammadelta T-Cell Lymphoma Suggest Antigenic Modulation: A Study of Sequential Biopsy Specimens
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2017)
Primary cutaneous gammadelta T-cell lymphoma (PCGD TCL), an aggressive type of lymphoma, accounts for approximately 1% of all primary cutaneous lymphomas. We have occasionally observed changes in T-cell antigen expression ...
